Les Brotteaux

It is situated between the Rhône and the track railway which leads to the Gare de la Part-Dieu.

The word "Broteaux" (with one "t") means in Lyon-language an island in the Rhône alluvial plain and bounded by the river itself or one of its arms or lône.

This word comes from Franco-Provençal language broteu, itself formed by brot, pronounced [bru], which means the young shoots of trees that grow here.

La Brasserie des Brotteaux is also an ideal place for those who like the Lyon's culinary traditions.

Among the most notable structures of the quarter, there are the Gare des Brotteaux, out of service since 1983, the Palais de Flore [fr], a 1930 Art Deco building houses located in the rue Waldeck-Rousseau, the Boulevard des Belges and mansions, the Parking Morand, a place dedicated to the work of architect Jean-Antoine Morand Jouffrey, creator of the Brotteaux district.
